My 1st Real Day of Training

Yesterday, I received the official Tour of Courage training program for the 90 km ride. The program expects me to ride 5 days a week, use the stepper once a week and do weight training twice a week. The rides vary from 1/2 hour, easy riding to long (80-100 km) excursions. I will have to modify my training program given my family and work committments.

Today, I started training in earnest. I am going to use this blog as my training log - I will post the basic details of my efforts each day.

Route: from home, over the Lions Gate Bridge, around the Stanley Park Ring Road once, onto Georgia St, veer onto Pender St to Beatty St
Distance: 21.3 km
Time: 43:02
Average Speed: 29.8 km

I will also be riding home but I will take the direct route and riding at an easier pace. I'll post those details tomorrow.
